Exclusive Petit Cortez II table for the dining room

Malabar was founded in 2012, with the launch of a wide range of decorative guitars Fado and the collection of elegant furniture by World Architects. It has designed and released a total of 5 exceptional furniture and accessory series.

Malabar has left its mark at major international fairs such as 100% Design London, Maison & Objet, Decorex, Stockholm Furniture Fair, and Seoul International. These are among the top venues for showcasing.

Malabar’s furniture design originates from the Porto area, in northern Portugal, known for its long-standing tradition of handcrafted products.

The identity of this prestigious brand is rooted in the national architectural and artistic heritage of the past five centuries. International experience and a pursuit of perfection are the details that define such original companies. Emotions, handcrafted craftsmanship, and space-inspired design create an explosive mix of luxurious furniture. Various techniques of working with natural wood produce incredible effects, as seen in Malabar’s exceptional collections.

An important aspect of the design is the combination of neutral and black colors. Juicy and vivid hues dominate, significantly diverging from classic and standard furniture. Besides wood, the manufacturer uses brass, gold and silver leaf, as well as other high-quality raw materials. The Portuguese soul is very colorful and fascinating, clearly reflected in the bold furniture designs.

The company’s name comes from the Malabar black pepper. Along with other spices, it changed the course of trade history with the discovery of the Cape. The value of original spices prompted Portuguese merchants to chart a daring sea route. This remains true today, as Malabar continues to define very individual design boundaries and evokes strong emotions with its projects. They are very liberated, seductive, bold, and extremely luxurious.
